Mussel Chowder
Lobster Spring Rolls

We started with a great selection of appetizers, which our great server Michelle
guided us. First we tried their amazing Mussel Chowder, with pancetta, cream
and shoestring potatoes, certainly a great starter and I did not know that
a Mussel Chowder could taste this good!

Our server Michelle
Champagne Sampler

Our server Michelle was impeccable, and also help us with our choice of wines, starting with the Cakebreak Cellars, from Napa, and a selection of 3 champagnes:
The Chandon Brut Classic, Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial
and Piper-Hiedsieck Brut.

I could not pass without asking to try their famous Artisan Flatbreads, this is one of the best flatbreads I’ve ever tried, our choice was the Roasted Mushroom with ricotta, baby spinach and truffle oil, you can make a meal out of this one. I loved it!

Watermelon Salad

Next we sampled their famous Watermelon Salad, with pine nuts, arugula, ricotta salata on a white balsamic vinaigrette. A great and light salad for sure!

their incredible Day Beat Scallops, served
with sweet corn risotto,

Alaskan Halibut

As far as our entrees, since I am a fish lover, my choice was the Alaskan Halibut, a hand rolled pasta, with morel mushroom, peas, baby spinach, this was simply the
best Halibut I’ve ever had, fresh and delicious, and the pasta was to die for.

Ranch Grass Fed New York Strip

My guest tried the Start Ranch Grass Fed New York Strip, that comes with a
twice baked potato, rapini, spring garlic, home made worcertershire, one
of the best and finest meat you can ever eat.
